Mark Mejchar, our Operations Manager, in the mini-backhoe, and Assistant Superintendent, Bryan Bergner, with rake in hand, start the first of four drainage pipe installs. The first, pictured here, is on the driving range just in front of the renovated practice tee. Mark and Bryan along with the help of Second Assistant Superintendent, Zac Houfek and Nick Narlock, Assistant Operations Manager, will install 6 catch basins, connect them with 4" drain pipe, all of which, will intercept and collect rain and irrigation runoff water from the tee and target green and transfer it underground, into the city storm water drainage network.
The second drainage install will be on hole #6 in the left rough near the willow tree about 170 yds off the tee. Third, will be a Water Level Control Device and connecting pipe install between #5 pond and #4 pond just in front of #5 tee. The final install will be on hole #11 on the fence-line to the left of the green. With these all in place by May 6 we will enjoy a full season of golf on much drier turf.
